hey's ;)

you're fast, wow :)

my settings are:
- router:
-- ip: 192.168.2.1
-- dhcp off
-- acts as default gateway and nameserver

- linux box:
-- ip: 192.168.2.x (tried several)
-- dhcp should be off, at least it said so at boot time ;)
-- set default gateway to 192.168.2.1
-- set broadcast to 192.168.2.255
-- set nameserver to 192.168.2.1

- other boxes:
-- ip: 192.168.2.y (other ip addresses, of course ;)
-- dhcp off
-- etc...

if i do network-setup it tries to enter all values, sets some routes and still remains "offline"...

any ideas?

thank you,
Nemo

EDIT:
it's not a 3com nic, btw ;)
